About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. Late one night, an exhausted delivery driver pulled into the 7-Eleven for some much-needed caffeine. As he reached for his usual energy drink, he noticed something odd on the shelf—an unfamiliar label with writing in what looked like ancient hieroglyphics. Curious, he picked up the bottle and scanned it with his phone’s flashlight. Suddenly, the lights flickered, and a nearby customer, startled, exclaimed, ‘Hey, don’t do that!’ Turned out, it was just an old bottle of soda from the 90s. The delivery driver laughed it off, paid for his coffee, and drove home, realizing that sometimes the strangest things are right under our nose.

2. One morning, a sleepy neighbor stopped by 7-Eleven and asked the clerk, ‘Do you ever run out of coffee?’ The clerk replied, ‘Not if I can help it!’ Just then, a delivery driver walked in and joked, ‘I bet you’ve got more coffee than customers!’ The clerk grinned back, ‘That’s why they call me Mr. Coffee!’ A few minutes later, an impatient neighbor muttered, ‘You’re open twenty-four hours—why is it taking so long?’ And the clerk, without missing a beat, answered, ‘Because I’m making sure every drop counts.’

3. In the early hours of dawn, when even gas stations seem asleep, a lone trucker pulled up to the 7-Eleven for a quick caffeine fix. The clerk behind the counter had just switched on the lights, but something unusual caught his eye—a shadowy figure standing outside, muttering to itself. The clerk squinted into the darkness and asked, ‘Need some gas, friend?’ The figure turned around, revealing an old man in a hunting hat who replied, ‘No, sonny, I’m just waiting for my wife’s car to finish filling up.’ They both laughed, and the trucker walked away with a smile, thinking it was one of those odd moments that make life interesting.

4. Late one night, a young boy walked into the 7-Eleven with eyes wide open. The cashier smiled, 'What can I get you?' The boy pointed at the vending machine, whispered, 'I heard it talks.' The cashier shrugged and nodded towards the machine. ‘Really? Let’s hear it then.’ Suddenly, out of nowhere, a deep voice boomed from inside: “Got milk?” Everyone burst out laughing—even the boy—and realized it was just another late-night prank.
